Narrative:

I was on a visual approach to dal at XA00 am. Coming from sat, I was cleared to land runway 31R, however I landed runway 31L. Fortunately, no other traffic was in the area and no other traffic deviations were reported. I believe personal complacency was at fault. Dal is home base for our operations which makes the events even more severe. I became complacent to a southern flow operations, while coming from the west when we over fly dfw and land runway 13L since our operations are on the north side of the field. On the date of the occurrence I landed on the 'left runway.' I apologized numerous times to the tower, and he said, 'don't worry, I had an eye on you the whole time.' corrective action, reevaluate each flight so complacency does not occur.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: C402B CARGO PLT LANDS ON THE WRONG RWY AFTER PERFORMING A WRONG RWY APCH AT DAL, TX.

Narrative: I WAS ON A VISUAL APCH TO DAL AT XA00 AM. COMING FROM SAT, I WAS CLRED TO LAND RWY 31R, HOWEVER I LANDED RWY 31L. FORTUNATELY, NO OTHER TFC WAS IN THE AREA AND NO OTHER TFC DEVS WERE RPTED. I BELIEVE PERSONAL COMPLACENCY WAS AT FAULT. DAL IS HOME BASE FOR OUR OPS WHICH MAKES THE EVENTS EVEN MORE SEVERE. I BECAME COMPLACENT TO A SOUTHERN FLOW OPS, WHILE COMING FROM THE W WHEN WE OVER FLY DFW AND LAND RWY 13L SINCE OUR OPS ARE ON THE N SIDE OF THE FIELD. ON THE DATE OF THE OCCURRENCE I LANDED ON THE 'L RWY.' I APOLOGIZED NUMEROUS TIMES TO THE TWR, AND HE SAID, 'DON'T WORRY, I HAD AN EYE ON YOU THE WHOLE TIME.' CORRECTIVE ACTION, REEVALUATE EACH FLT SO COMPLACENCY DOES NOT OCCUR.
